"True Love...

Do you really love me?
Or do you just love my face?
I need you to really see
The true me in my place.

Do you understand me?
Or do you understand my smile?
I want you to really show me
That you would go that extra mile.

Do you just look at my eyes?
Or do you look inside?
Because when you said you loved me
I think you might have lied.
